Beyoncé has become the most awarded artiste in Grammys history during a historic Sunday night in Los Angeles.
The songstress arrived at the music industry’s biggest event with 28 Grammy awards. She has now won 32 Grammy awards, breaking the record previously held by Georg Solti.
Beyoncé won four Grammy awards, breaking the record for the most wins of any artiste in history.
“I’m trying not to be too emotional,” the 41-year-old said on stage after winning her fourth award of the night. “I’m trying to just receive this night.”
Queen Bey also paid tribute to her uncle, parents, husband, children, and the “queer community for their love and for inventing the genre”.
“I’d like to thank my uncle Jonny, who’s not here. But he’s here in spirit. I’d like to thank my parents: my father, my mother for loving me and pushing me,” she said.
“I’d like to thank my beautiful husband, my beautiful three children who are at home watching. I’d like to thank the queer community, for your love, and for inventing this genre. God bless you. Thank you so much to the Grammys.”
Beyoncé’s first Grammy win came in 2001 with Destiny’s Child.
Harry Styles picked up the biggest Grammy award of the night — ‘album of the year’ for ‘Harry’s House’.
Viola Davis joins EGOT club
Viola Davis became the latest star to earn a coveted EGOT — a combination of an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.
The Hollywood star made history at the 65th annual Grammy Awards with her win for the ‘best audiobook, narration and storytelling recording’ category.
She won the award for her memoir ‘Finding Me’, defeating the likes of Jamie Foxx, Mel Brooks, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Questlove in the category.
“I wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola, to honor her life, her joy, her trauma,” Davis said. “It has been such a journey. I JUST EGOT!”
Davis joins the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, John Legend, and Jennifer Hudson, who completed their EGOT in 2002, 2018 and 2022, respectively.
TheCable Lifestyle earlier reported that Tems, the Nigerian songstress, won her first-ever Grammy award.
This was just as Burna Boy lost his two categories. (see full list)
